架构师提供的文本描述。当代城市是由国家意志、(理论上)代表公民的意志和市场之间的张力形成的。。这些行动者之间的斗争决定了城市形象，更重要的是所有居民的生活。这种宏观上的条件关系也可以在微观上被解读，在构成城市场景的每一个建筑中都是如此。每一座建筑都建立了一个生态系统，从它作为财产利益的概念到它作为人民的栖息地的物化，这些利益是并存的，一方面是由促进者有利可图的一方决定的，另一方面是由其居民的舒适和生活质量所决定的。这个等式定义了一个产品，它似乎是希望更大的经济利益为促进者，是与未来居民的生活水平成反比。

Text description provided by the architects. Contemporary cities are shaped as the result of the tension between the will of the state, (theoretically) representative of citizens, and the Market. . The struggle between these actors has conditioned, for better or worse, the urban image and even more importantly the lives of all inhabitants. This conditional relationship on a macro scale can be read in the micro scale as well, in each of the buildings that make up the urban scene. Every building sets up an ecosystem in which, from its conception as a property interest to its materialization as a habitat for people, there coexists interests which are determined, on the one hand, by a side which is lucrative for the promoters, and on the other hand, by the comfort and quality of life of its inhabitants. This equation defines a product where it seems that the desire for greater financial gain for the promoter, is inversely proportional to the level of life of future residents.

在我们的例子中，从建筑师-推动者的角度来看，这为我们提供了将自己置于平等的两边的可能性。从这一立场出发，我们打算将城市规模的内在特征引入公寓建筑的“私人”范围内，为其居民创造一个更好的环境。不管我们喜不喜欢，走进这座建筑，这取决于我们，我们这些微观城市现实的建筑师和建设者，去强调或忽视它们。因此，我们更愿意把这个项目看作是一个垂直的社区，而不是一座公寓楼或一套单元。

In our case, from the point of view of architects-promoters, this provides us with the possibility to place our selves on both sides of the equation.From this position, we intend to bring the intrinsic characteristics of the urban scale necessary to create a better environment for its inhabitants, within the 'private' sphere of an apartment building.The dynamics of cohabitation in the neighborhoodtranslates, weather we like it or not, into the building, and its up to us, us architects and builders of these micro urban realities to emphasize or ignore them. From this, we prefer to think of this project not as an apartment building, or a set of units, but as a vertical neighborhood.

这个项目是一个长期努力的一部分，在这些努力中，我们试图或多或少地验证这些问题。从根本上说，就城市公共空间的配置而言，这些空间既不属于任何人，同时又属于每个人，从房地产的角度来看，这些空间被低估了，认为它们是“不可卖的”。它们通常是非常黑暗的地方，没有自然光、通风和视野。与此相反，我们把创造广泛开放的公共空间作为一个不可避免的前提，尽管从推广者的角度来看，这种公共空间仍然有效地再现了任何城市人行道的主要特征，这些公共居住空间促进了更多的社区生活。

This project is part of a long line of endeavors in which we have try to verify to a greater or lesser extentthese issues. Fundamentally, in regard to the configuration of the common spaces that, such as it occurs in the city,represent the area which belongs to no one and at the same time belongs to everyone. These spaces are underrated from a real estate perspective which considers them  to be "non saleable". Often they are extremely dark places, deprived of natural light, ventilation and view. As opposed to this, we took as an unavoidable premise, thegeneration ofwide-open common spaceswhich, while still being efficient from the promoter’s point of viewreproduce the main features of any city sidewalk.These public living spaces promote afuller community life.

将两种不同类型的标准楼面平面图结合起来，在数量和位置上，在不同的高度产生形式变量，以适应每个投资项目所遭受的变化。这两种地板都是围绕着中央空隙形成的，在任何一种情况下，都会向前方、侧面或背面开放，使每个水平上的不同点都能看到，并从内部通风整体。通过定位在中心空间，垂直和水平的循环，我们正在寻找取代典型的封闭和黑暗的核心，与一个空间是在多个方向整合，让城市的不同部分可以窥探到这座建筑的内部结构，渴望成为一个邻里。

The combination of two different kinds of standard floor plans, in quantity and location at different heights generates formal variables that seek to adapt to the changes that every investment project suffers. Both flooroptions are formed around a central void, which in either case opens to the front, the side, or the backallowing views to different points on each level and ventilating the whole from within. By locating in that central space, vertical and horizontal circulations, we are looking to replacethe typical closed and dark core, with a space that is integrated in multiple directions, and allows different parts of the city to peek into the internal structure of this building which aspires to become a neighborhood.
